My work explores the dichotomy of order and chaos in life and art. I am particularly interested in the methods we employ to overcome the struggle for balance in todays world. Utilizing various formats which evoke both structure and fragility, the primary focus of my work is process and the joy of working with materials. I use lines, marks, and fibers as a metaphor for the pathways in life; an ever changing direction. The marks appear chaotic tempered by the pale muted palette. The process of ritual and repetition instills a sense of security and harmony which brings order to the chaos for me as a maker. As a result, the work investigates environment, memories, experiences, and objectives. In creating these relationships of various mediums and formats one becomes aware of the individual variations that heighten our consciousness of the fragility and peerless characteristics that exist within a space. My intent is to engage the viewer with the materials as well as with the visual aesthetics.
